McLaren leaves door open for move to Honda engines in 2015
McLaren敞開了在2015年使用本田引擎的門
McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh has left the door open for a switch
to Honda engines in 2015 after refusing to confirm that it will continue with
Mercedes beyond next season.
McLaren車隊領隊Martin Whitmarsh先前拒絕證實車隊將會在下賽季繼續和Mercedes合作,
這意味著車隊2015賽季的大門已經正式向本田敞開。
Honda sources have confirmed to AUTOSPORT that it plans to return to Formula
1 as an engine supplier to McLaren.
來自本田的消息來源已經向AUTOSPORT證實,本田正在尋求作為McLaren的引擎提供商
的身份重返F1舞臺。
But while the new turbocharged 1.6-litre V6 powerplants will be introduced
next season, a McLaren-Honda isn't expected to be on the grid until 2015.
但由於新的渦輪增壓1.6升V6發動機將會在下賽季使用,所以McLaren和本田的合作在
2015年以前應該還不會到來。
McLaren currently has the option to run Mercedes engines until the end of
2015 as part of the deal in which it bought back the 40 per cent stake that
the German manufacturer owned of the team, which was completed in 2011.
McLaren目前的想法是維持和Mercedes的合約直到2015年,協定中部分條款是車隊從德國
廠商那裡重新購回自己40%股份,這已在2011年完成。
This means that McLaren is free to make a switch to Honda, which it is set to
do in 2015.
這意味著McLaren車隊在2015年轉向和本田合作沒有任何障礙。
When asked by AUTOSPORT whether he could confirm that the team would run
Mercedes engines in 2014 and 2015, Whitmarsh said: "I can definitely say that
we are with them for some time, we have a contract and we have been talking
about it for some time.
當被AUTOSPORT問及車隊是否會在2014和2015年仍然維持跟Mercedes的合作時,
Whitmarsh表示,“目前我們同Mercedes還有合同,相關的問題我們已經同Mercedes
討論過了."
"There is nothing to announce at the moment. I can't elaborate any further.
"在目前仍無法公開內容,我也無法透露更多。"
"We have a contract that covers the next three seasons at the moment and we
will certainly go into next year with Mercedes-Benz.
"我們跟Mercedes-Benz的合約還有三年
而且我們也確定下賽季會繼續和Mercedes合作。"
"We have a long and successful partnership with them."
我們和Mercedes有一段長遠和成功的伙伴關係."
Whitmarsh added that talk about new engine suppliers coming into F1 can only
be good for the sport.
Whitmarsh接著談到新的引擎供應商進入F1只會對F1帶來好處.
Three engine manufacturers - Ferrari, Mercedes and Renault - must supply all
11 teams in 2014, but from 2015, Honda is set to make it four.
三個引擎製造商-Ferrari, Mercedes跟Renault必須在2014年提供11個車隊引擎,本田將
投入成為第四個(引擎製造商).
"We have read the stories about Porsche, Hyundai and Honda and I think they
are to be encouraged," said Whitmarsh.
"我們已經得知關於Porsche, 現代(!!)跟本田的傳聞,而且我想他們的加入是件好事"
Whitmarsh表示.
"The sport needs new automotive manufacturers to come in and if we can help
that in any way, we will do so, but at the moment we are very focused on our
partnership [with Mercedes], which has been a very good partnership.
"F1需要新的引擎製造商的加入,而且如果我們可以在任何方式上協助他們的話,我們非常
樂意,但是在此時我們非常專注於跟我們的夥伴(與Mercedes的合作上),
他們是非常好的夥伴"
"We are going to try and win championships with them in the future."
"未來我們會和他們嘗試並且贏得冠軍."
AUTOSPORT SAYS...
AUTOSPORT的觀點(特稿)
F1 editor Edd Straw
F1部門編輯Edd Straw
Sometimes quotes, in the cold light of day, don't tell the whole story. But
there can be no doubt about the meaning of Martin Whitmarsh's very deliberate
answer when asked to confirm whether McLaren would use Mercedes power in 2014
and 2015.
雖然上述訊息無法得知全部的情況,但是毫無疑問的在確認McLaren是否在2014年和2015年
繼續使用Mercedes引擎時,Whitmarsh的說法給了一個保留的答案.
For the record, our question was as follows: "You said the other day to Sky
that you have got a contract [with Mercedes] for 2014 and 2015, which is well
known. What I would like to know is do you plan to pick up the option for
first 2014 and secondly 2015 with Mercedes? Can you categorically say that
you will run their engines for the two seasons that follow this one?"
根據之前的報導,我們的問題如下:"你(Whitmarsh)前幾天跟Sky說你們跟Mercedes簽了
2014跟2015年的合約,這是已廣為人知的事.我想要知道的事是你們是否計劃撿起2014年與
2015年跟Mercedes的合約?你們可以明確的說你們會繼續在2014和2015賽季跟Mercedes
的合約?"(坦白說不大能精確翻譯這段話 但是感覺好像是在打惠馬馬的臉 有錯請指正)
That he specifically confirmed next season, but dodged the issue of 2015 is
telling.
他(Whitmarsh)特別強調2014年(和Mercedes的合約),但是明顯的在迴避關於2015年
(引擎供應商)的話題.
While the dotting of the i's and the crossing of the t's might be incomplete,
both McLaren and Honda plan to renew their partnership on track in 2015.
雖然我和他們(McLaren)之間的訊息是不完整的,但是可以確定McLaren和本田將在2015年
開始夥伴關係.
Given the success last time around - five seasons from 1988-1992 that yielded
four drivers/constructors' championship doubles - that can only be good news
for McLaren.
看看他們之前合作的成功-1988年至1992年五個賽季中取得四次車手和車隊雙料冠軍-
(他們的合作)對於McLaren來說是個好消息.
Not to mention cause for concern among its rivals...
更不必說來自於競爭對手關切的動機了........................
